Recounting My Conversion to the Catholic Church

Two talks describing how I went from being a Presbyterian minister to seeking full communion with the Catholic Church. One was given in a pub at an event called Wine & Wisdom to around 30 young adults (which was especially fun because I was drinking ale while sharing my story), and the other was given at a conference with Scott Hahn (and the talk itself was completely impromptu — I was planning to speak on something else completely until he succeeded in changing my mind about ten minutes before I took the stage!).

A series of lectures given at Holy Family Parish in Kirkland, WA, in which I argue that a basic Catholic gospel paradigm does a better job than a basic Protestant one at accounting for the various New Testament teachings of Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, and John on topic like justification, faith, and good works.

This series of lectures given at Holy Family Parish in Kirkland, WA, is based upon my forthcoming book. They focus on the fact that man is made in the image of God and therefore hardwired for heaven. Unlike Darwin’s claim in his Origin of Species, the biblical description of man is one in which he is not pushed by his past, but pulled by his future.
